Re: [hlcoders] Third Person Camera Tutorial
I definately believe that a good compiler would and should not even
translate it, but it's still bad programming practice.

Why wouldn't you comment out the entire if statement?? Do you like
wasting processor cycles?

Re: [hlcoders] Third Person Camera Tutorial
The compiler is most assuredly clever enough to optimize away the clause entirely considering there's no code to be executed therein.
